Neighborhood safe from crime (N = 409)
Yes	1.00

Safety concerns affect outdoor play (N = 413)
Yes	1.00
No	0.78 (0.43–1.39)
Traffic concerns affect outdoor play (N = 413)

All models included age in months, gender, race/ethnicity, highest level of parental education in the home, number of people per room in the home, whether the family lived in East Harlem, type of health insurance, language spoken in the home, whether the child ever breastfed and number of smokers in the home. Note about missing data: 18 children did not have full Hispanic/Latino ancestry information available for the child’s mother and father and thus could not be placed into one of the race/ethnicity subgroups. We did not have highest level of parental education in the home for ten children. Language(s) spoken in the home was missing on four children and breast feeding information was missing on two children. The final N for each model reflects all above missing data plus missing data for each individual neighborhood safety measure
